Ingredients

• 1 Pound (lb) mild pork sausage
• 8 Ounces (oz) Neufchatel cheese, cubed
• 15 Whole fresh jalapeno peppers, divided
• 0.25 Cups Parmesan cheese, grated

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet to prevent sticking.
2. In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the pork sausage until it is browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat and return the skillet to the heat.
3. Add the cubed Neufchatel cheese to the sausage in the skillet. Stir continuously until the cheese is completely melted and well combined with the sausage. Remove from heat.
4. Spoon equal portions of the sausage and cheese mixture into each jalapeño half. Arrange the stuffed jalapeños on the prepared baking sheet.
5. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the tops of the stuffed jalapeños.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until the jalapeños are tender and the tops are lightly browned.
7. Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these spicy, creamy bites as a delightful appetizer or side dish.
